Eddie, I'm not trying to be on the losing end of this conversation... I love that truck... but I think the front grille is way too dated of a look to make it into production. That's my opinion, and they aren't right or wrong, so don't take it that way. It just has too much of a vintage look. The new Camero, Challenger and Mustang do have a very vintage look... but at the same time they aren't too vintage, like you can still tell it's new. (if that even makes sense.)
To me, the NuKizer looks like a restored vintage vehicle.

I love that. "HONCHO"... what you think a Honcho package was? maybe a hidden compartment for running illegal immigrants? or was there a separate "coyote" edition?
How can you not like that? The chopped top makes it look evil. IMO that thing is slicker than dog sh!t. I would love to have that thing in my driveway. What wheels are those?
I guess if you don't like that then you don't like this thing, but to me it looks great. I have always thought they were bad ass and jeep did a great job of capturing the tough old body looks but using modern drive-train and suspension.
all I need to know is where do I sign up?

It would be much more successful with a large diesel, or v8. Needs a motor that can keep up with its rough and tough image.
I cant afford one anyways... but what an awesome vehicle.

I really dont think it looks dated at all. Similar absolutely, but the cab (JK) and rear sheetmetal on the box (brute) is reasonably new. To me it has the perfect mix of old style rugged looks and new design.
But then i would LOVE an old Dodge Powerwagon also.
